    PixelJunk Racers is perhaps the most unlikely sort of game to appear on the boastfully next-gen PS3 but that also makes it one of the most enjoyable titles on the system. [Dec 2007, p.116]

    The real bonus is the range of race types available. [Issue#160, p.96]

    PixelJunk Racers' virtual slot cars are fun in groups of people, but without online multiplayer, you'll get tired quickly if you're playing alone.

    PixelJunk Racers is a basic game, not basic in the sense that it's easy to pick the game up (but it is) but basic in the sense that the game can be a little bit too boring.

    This game is a lot of fun and feels very different to more traditional racing games. The difficulty is a bit high in single player and requires very sharp reflexes to do well, but play it for a while and you'll understand what it's all about. The game supports up to 7 players in multiplayer, which is where the game really comes alive. Fireball racer with 3 or 4 other players is an experience not to be missed - it's just a shame that with the simple controls there is no option to have two players on one pad like Micro Machines for the Megadrive. PS3 controllers are expensive! A nice little game that fans of high speed twitch action should enjoy. Due to the low price point and uniqueness of the gameplay I highly recommend it.… Expand

    Tried the demo, i am disappointed. 1st persom is always preferred over 3rd person perspect any time. Not worth what 10 bucks. 42 meg program, wow, no wonder its made by pixeljunk !! is this a joke or a rip off. So glad i tried the demo first. Most games fails miserably. Just my opinion...thank you… Expand
